Tucker Kraft signs extension on day before Packers’ season opener

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has signed a contract extension just days before the team's season opener. This extension will keep Kraft with the Packers for the next four years, with a total value of $75 million, though the maximum could reach $92 million. The deal includes a $26.5 million signing bonus. Kraft, who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament last season, expressed his desire to stay with the Packers throughout the offseason.

He will return to action after tearing his right ACL in a game against the Carolina Panthers last November. The 2023 third-round draft pick from South Dakota State had a strong season in 2024, catching 50 passes for 707 yards and seven touchdowns.
